As seen in the picture below the linear diamond features straight lines that visually draw the eye to gaze deep into the centre, like being lost in a beautiful maze. The Asscher brothers of Holland lay claim to this exquisite cut. Often called the “square emerald cut” and like an emerald cut, the Asscher has cropped corners. Over the years the Asscher cut has gained royal status now many influential women have chosen to own one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Asscher cut diamond has gained notoriety in recent years its royal status has developed  the important cut to become desirable with celebrities and globally influential women. Kate Hudson received of a 5 ct Asscher Cut diamond on her engagement and Mariah Carey was given a $2.5 million dollar 17ct light pink Asscher cut diamond,  surrounded by 58 intense round brilliant cut pink diamonds. Since then there has been a market demand for more stores to carry this extremely fashionable cut. One of the most famous Asscher cut diamonds belonged to the now late Elizabeth Taylor. The 33.19 ct was given to her by Richard Burton, one can only imagine what he was thinking when he purchased the prized diamond. Formally known as the “Krupp” diamond and endearingly named by Ms Taylor as “My Baby” fetched an unheard figure of US $8.2 million after originally being purchased for US $305,000. At the time of sale it set a record price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow to choose the perfect Asscher Cut diamond?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the shape of the diamond is a personal choice there are simple points to follow when buying the desired shape. Equal four sides, the squarer, the better. Table to depth percentage should be of a certain proportion. The advised table depth is 58 – 69.5% which is considered to be of excellent size. The crown height, which is the height from the edge (girdle) to the top (table), is to be 10 -16.5%. Ideal girdle thickness is technically known as thin to thick girdle. A very thin girdle means an extra threat to the safety of the diamond and an extremely thick girdle means wasted surface area. Polish and Symmetry – Excellent – Very Good. Ideally as square as possible. As the Asscher cut is designed to draw the eye into the diamond, you should always select the highest quality diamond you can afford.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Australian Diamond Brokers we take exceptional care in selecting the most beautiful Asscher Cut Diamond for you. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Australian Diamond Brokers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43897063538879,"sku":null,"price":2.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/0111\/1231\/files\/asscherdiamond-300x2942-1.png?v=1734050391"},{"product_id":"cushion-cut-diamonds","title":"Cushion Cut Diamonds","description":"\u003cp\u003eCushion cut diamonds have a square or square-rectangular shape with rounded corners and 58 brilliant-style facets that resemble a pillow shape.

During the 17th century, cutters began to experiment with perpendicular (as opposed to horizontal) facets that acted as reflectors to give stones greater brilliance and fire. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis new style became known as “brilliant cutting” because of the noticeably greater glitter it gave to diamonds. The term brilliant is French in origin and was, at first, used to describe the ends achieved with the new cutting style. Once the first true round brilliant was introduced in the late 19th century, it replaced the antique cushion. Nowadays, all cushion cuts that were produced before the round brilliant are called “old miners” and all early round brilliants are called “old European cuts.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCushion Cuts first became popular again about ten years ago, and their popularity has increased as designers and antique dealers continue to use them. Recently, cushion cut diamonds are especially being used in larger-carat earrings and also as a center stone in cushion cut engagement rings.

Our minimum recommendations for buying oval cut diamonds are as follows (please remember these are opinion only and your taste may vary): Cut: Very good Colour: G Clarity: SI1 Depth percentage: 58-66% Table percentage: 51-64% Because an oval cut diamond can be “short and fat” or “long and thin” always be sure to check the length and the width of the oval shape diamond so it suits your taste prior to purchasing. For most traditional length-width ratio of oval diamonds, look for rations between 1.33 and 1.66. However some of our customers also prefer longer, thinner cuts and others prefer rounder, softer cut oval diamonds. The choice is yours. Like the “pear shaped diamond”, the oval cut can fall victim to the “bow tie effect”, which is an undesirable characteristic which features a dark area near the centre of the diamond. It’s not unusual to see “some bow tie” if you examine an oval-shaped diamond from various angles and in different lights, but what you don’t want is an obvious black\/dark spot that is dull from every angle and in all lights.

However, while displaying the same high degree of brilliance, its faceting style is unique and completely different from that of a round brilliant. Effectively, princess cut diamonds combine the high degree of light return of a round brilliant cut with a distinctive square or rectangular shape. The square princess cut diamond is usually slightly cheaper than round brilliant cut diamonds of the same carat weight because it retains about 80% of the rough diamond, as opposed to the round brilliant which retains only about 50% of the rough. The ability to retain more crystal weight makes this shape popular amongst diamond cutters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name “Princess Cut” was originally used in connection with another diamond cut, otherwise known as the “Profile” cut, designed by Arpad Nagy, a London cutter, in 1961.

Of all the diamond shapes, the Round cut diamond is the most well-known and is most often used in engagement rings and wedding rings. Though its shape is very simple, its brilliance and elegance is unmatched. The Round cut diamond is often referred to as the Round Brilliant Cut or Brilliant Cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith over three quarter of all diamonds used in jewellery designs being a Round Brilliant Cut diamond, we can argue that it is not only the most recognisable cut but also the most popular diamond cut. This is because a round diamond has the greatest brilliance and fire when compared to the other diamond shapes. The Round Brilliant Cut was developed by Marcel Tolkowsky around 1919 as part of his PhD thesis in mathematics. Tolkowsky developed the Round Brilliant Cut by considering variables such as the index of refraction and covalent bond angles in his calculation that produces the maximum fire and brilliance of the stone. Even, nearly 200 years later, the Round diamond is still the most popular choice for people buying a diamond, followed by the Princess Cut diamond. The Princess Cut diamond is square in shape and due to its shape; it does not sparkle as much as the Round diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Round Brilliant Cut Diamonds Are More Expensive Than Other Cuts\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRough diamonds are formed in an octahedron shape. When the rough is cut in half, you are left with 2 square faced halves. For a diamond cutter to transform the rough into a round brilliant cut diamond, roughly 35% of the diamond is lost therefore there is a lot of wastage and money lost in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRound Cut Diamond Engagement Ring\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne reason Round Cut diamonds are popular in engagement rings, is because the shape does not limit the designing of the engagement ring. It can be used with any other diamond shape, be positioned on its own, which we call a solitaire ring or be displayed in a three stone setting. The round cut diamond can also be used as accent stones for pave and channel settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBuying A Round Diamond – What You Need To Know\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore going out and buying a round cut diamond, it is a good idea to try to find out which diamond shape your significant other preferred.

A GIA certificate tells you what the diamond is how well it is cut, it’s polish and Symmetry and whether the diamond has fluorescence.

Cuts can be good very good or excellent, the best being excellent. The difference between a very good cut and an excellent cut diamond is minimal to an untrained eye. However it would make a difference to the overall price of the diamond. The other elements that can be excellent are the polish and Symmetry, the polish in the diamond is the smoothness of each and every facet, after cutting a diamond into it’s 57 o facets, the diamond cutter goes over each facet in the diamond and makes sure that there are no polishing lines left on the facets, provided that there are no polishing lines left on any of the 57 facets the diamond is graded as having an excellent polish. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1272\" style=\"margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"symmetry\" src=\"https:\/\/www.australiandiamondbrokers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/symmetry-cut.png\" alt=\"symmetry\" width=\"220\" height=\"215\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThink of Symmetry as dissecting anything and having two parts that are similar in every way.

Does excellent symmetry mean that the diamond sparkles more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The answer is No. The diamond is brighter when the angle of the pavilion is at it’s optimum, so is the angle of the crown, and the overall depth of the diamond is in perfect proportion to the size of the table, hence capturing and reflecting every bit of light that has gone into the diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Australian Diamond Brokers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43897064128703,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/0111\/1231\/files\/round-cut-diamond.jpg?v=1734050404"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.australiandiamondbrokers.com\/collections\/diamond-shapes.oembed","provider":"Australian Diamond Brokers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
